Can Bulging Disc From A Wreck Deteriorate Further And Rupture?
Yes it can deteriorate and cause rupture.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The bulging disc from a wreck can deteriorate further and rupture if proper rest is not given for the healing to take place.
A bulging disc can also happen due to age related degenerative process. This can heal with proper rest, local steroid injections, improvisation of posture, regular physiotherapy and muscle relaxants. A surgical correction may be needed if it is associated with a nerve root compression.
The mild pain in the area of bruising after 6 months can be due to a scar tissue in the area or due to a decreased elasticity. You can do a hot compress and light massage with local analgesic ointment. This will help in improving the pain.
I hope this answers your query.
